What to do if the baby won't eat anything

Babies are more important than anything else to parents. Many times, due to the baby's physique, some problems are easily caused. It is more common that the baby sometimes refuses to eat anything. When this happens, parents will be very worried. So, besides indigestion, what are the possible reasons for babies not eating? Here are some reasons why babies don't eat. I hope they will be effective for everyone.

Reasons why babies don't eat

The ability to digest food is still relatively weak. If your baby has eaten a lot in the past period of time, there is a possibility of food accumulation.

If the baby was sick some time ago, the gastrointestinal tract may be invaded by the virus, thus affecting the baby's digestive ability. If the baby is taking blood tonic medicine, or taking some nutritional supplements that irritate the gastrointestinal tract, it may affect the baby's digestive function. If your baby has taken antibiotics some time ago and caused bacterial imbalance, the baby's digestive function will also be damaged, which will also affect the baby's eating. Then you can imagine the baby’s nutritional status.

Don't force your baby to eat

When your baby is eating, don't talk about the issue of eating. You should not show joy on your face or encourage your baby too much if he eats too much, or sigh, look sad or even angry if he eats too little, which will make your baby regard eating as a burden.

If you want your baby to enjoy meals, first make the food he likes to eat. On the premise of ensuring your baby's nutrition, try not to force your baby to eat food he doesn't like. Everyone has different tastes, so how can we eat the same thing? Eating in a calm, peaceful and pleasant atmosphere can not only increase your baby's appetite, but also promote digestion and absorption.

Don’t indulge your baby’s picky eating

Parents should let their babies try a variety of foods. Don't withhold food from your baby just because you don't eat it or don't like it. If parents themselves are picky eaters and don't pay attention when eating, commenting on how this tastes bad or that tastes bad while the children are eating, this will invisibly influence their children.

When preparing meals for your baby, pay attention to the color, aroma, taste and shape of the food during the cooking process to arouse your baby's interest. For those newly added foods and foods that the baby doesn’t like, you should be thoughtful and combine them with the baby’s favorite foods to induce the baby to eat them. Don't be too accommodating just because your baby likes a certain food.

Parents should develop a diet plan for their babies while ensuring their nutritional needs. They should not just give them their favorite foods to prevent them from getting tired of them.

Precautions

Parents should not make their babies who are able to eat “not eat well” just for the sake of making them “eat well”. If your baby doesn't eat well every day, remember that changing bad habits takes time and patience, and let your baby eliminate all unpleasant associations with eating.
